That is such an interesting perspective and interesting read. You touch on so many different ideas here I dont even know where to begin. With record keeping being so much more difficult back then compared to today with our books, photographs, video, the internet... etc the past remains a great mystery in so many ways. I never thought of paintings and artwork as a form of historic documentation. But they really are. They give us a glimpse into the past. Great post!

We see today how records can be lost on purpose for various reasons, and it's easy to conclude that a lot of our past records were hidden similarly. The physical evidence on the planet rarely matches up with the official story on every continent, so a lot of information is obviously missing from our history. The remaining megalithic structures almost always tell a story that's more interesting than the one on the historical plaque. It's kind of a thrill to have my idea of history change every minute as I see the curious details of old paintings along with the unexplained evidence that still scatters the planet.
So true
